on tow fees, i think san francisco has a very, very, very high tow fee already. i know that part of the the budget analyst report has been about whether or not we are recovering enough to pay for this lease at the site. the mta gave a number of reasons why, including that the space isn't going to be completely used by tow, et cetera. i would be very cautious about increasing the tow fee because it is sittingly high. we have seen so many folks come in with hardships to be able to come back and grab their vehicles. so i would be very concerned about that. i just want to articulate that. i will be supportive of the motion supervisor kim made. supervisor avalos. >> thank you for mentioning the tow fee too. i think we might have the highest tow fee in the country, which is not something we can actually even think about raising. yet i think our being able to make this purchase or lease viable in future years might be precluded on the tow fee. that is something i'm concerned about. i'm prepared to continue the item. i'm not sure -- i think we can get a lot of informatio

they cannot use it to enroll healthy san francisco. other troubling trend is the fact that more money is being collected by many of these businesses than is actually being spent on health care. and it is precisely the fear that we had when the watered-down version of the legislation to close the loophole was eventually passed. the last point that i would say is that something else that the civil grand jury also points out is the fact that the use of these health care accounts is actually increasing. and so in some ironic way the amendment that was passed may have ended up exacerbating the problem and in the process increased their use. so based on those comments, i will be voting against this resolution, because the resolution as currently written does not really, in my view, address the concerns that have been raised by the civil grand jury. and the last point i will make is simply that i want to thank the members of civil grand jury for all of the work that they have done. they are doing their work on a volunteer basis. and we apprec

muni service to young people in san francisco? in other words, if mtc isn't willing to do it on its own, should the city be paying more money into mtc to get the service out of mtc? >> as a last resort. that would be certainly the last way of funding it that i would look at. there is a continuity problem between the different transportation agencies that make it a little bit unworkable. at this present time i think one of the ways to deal with the issue is to see if the nuts and bolts of it can be tweaked a little bit to make it into a workable solution. maybe that may take a little bit more time, but i don't think as a sort of knee-jerk reaction we need to put the burden on taxpayers. with that being said it's vitally important for people to get around and especially those who can't afford and if you are a young person, i think that is a very important consideration as well. again, the focus should be on tweaking the nuts and bolts of continuity issue to find a work-around there before putting the burden on the taxpayer. >> the f

francisco's need and they anticipate this will save about 9 months off the procurement schedule for this contract, which then translates into vehicles being in use as soon as may of 2013, with the final delivery of the vehicles an advertise ticipated in august. the board allocated $400,000 in july to the design phase of this project and at that time there were a few conditions put on that allocation. one was a presentation from the mta on its fleet management plan and this is the presentation that was given last month. another one of the conditions was that mta provided details on its planned procurement over the next couple years. so this ppa request for a comprehensive amendment is what you have in front of you. what this amendment does is it reprograms approximately $40 million dollars that has been programmed but unallocated in the 5 year period of these 5ypp, so that's from 2009-10 to 2014-15. the category was very heavy loaded with programing in the first 3 years so it's essentially shifting out that programming to the final two years of this period. we will be submitting a se
